Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thanks again, everyone.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Weather's been nice this week. They're talking about rain for tomorrow. Of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am sad. I found the last Cost Market Plus Whatever Adirondack chair in the Los Angeles area, and *purchased* it to find out it can't fit in my car assembled. Now I have to do actual shopping to find one. Pfah. I wanted it for tomorrow.

I survived the Registry even though my wait was closer to 45 minutes than the 30 predicted, but given that it's close to the end of the month and all, I won't complain. And now I won't be driving on expired insurance or expired registration, so I feel like I'm slowly coming out of the extended funk I've been stuck on for the past couple of weeks....

(My new boss has discovered I can word good. Now I'm apparently writing emails for the intern as well as website copy. I think I've performed poorly if it's taken him this long to work it out--but when he handed me the web pages on Wednesday and explained his goals and asked for a review, apparently everyone fell in love with it. Come on! I have an "excellent presentation" award from the CIO pinned up in my cubicle. It's my not-so-stealth differentiator.)
(My previous manager thought I was pretty incompetent when it came to communication...)
Right! Grab the fruit salad for late lunch and back to the presentation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had that problem with a coffee table (and my parents' car). It was so sad! But I'm really happy with the one I have, and that one really would have been too big for the space. I hope your chair situation works out as well!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Anyone have suggestions on how to get a drawer unstuck? It's a wooden drawer in a wooden cabinet. It doesn't have runners or anything -- just the plain rectangular drawer stuck in a slot. And it's stuck. I'm not sure if it's that the heat expanded the wood, or what, but I can't watch a DVD or play Wii without the remote that's in the drawer. It's a nice cabinet, so I don't want to ruin the wood in the process of unsticking the drawer.
